I can't remove index.php from my url's (rediect())

[eluser]gRoberts[/eluser]
Apache Version: 1.3.37

.htaccess content:

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico|backup|shop|cstemplates|cschat|ads|as|cs\-admin|bugtracker)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

The RewriteCond works fine except the index.php situ.

phpinfo informs me that mod_rewrite is one of the loaded modules.
